Abstract: During the last days of September to the first days of October in 2017, a unique detection of 106 Ru was observed in air filters sampled at different locations in Sweden via the national air monitoring network. Furthermore, measurements of precipitation also showed the presence of 106 Ru. This initiated soil sampling and in situ gamma-ray spectrometry at one of the locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
